Drinks The Worst Interviews with High or Drunk Celebrities

Being in the public eye as a celebrity makes everything more difficult. You have to be very careful about how you compose yourself or else your slips will live on the Internet forever. Even though access to alcohol and drugs is easier for the rich and the famous, they also need to learn how to handle themselves better. There have been some truly disastrous drunk interviews as well as high interviews over the years. Check out the list below for some of the funniest and most awkward drunk celebrity interviews and interviews given under the influence.

Before The Voice rose up and toppled American Idol as America’s favorite singing show, the Simon Cowell-led phenomenon was a cornerstone of prime time television. Besides the snippy Cowell, the other judge positions were taken by Randy “Dawg” Jackson and Paula Abdul. Though Cowell was always the show's star, Abdul garnered her fair share of headlines, including one in 2009 when she gave a bizarre interview with a local Seattle station that clearly shows the pop star intoxicated. She later downplayed the incident to People magazine, blaming bad audio and an overabundance of people talking in her ear at once... right.

When an interview starts with someone shouting “LIVING IN AMERICA,” you know you’re in for quite the experience. Having just been released from jail the day before over allegations of Brown threatening his wife’s life while high, James Brown sat down with CNN to discuss his side of things… or he would have, if he wasn’t high as a kite. It’s unclear what drug Brown is on, but at least he appears to be having a good time. He doesn’t seem to acknowledge the interviewer’s questions, preferring to shout out random song lyrics, but at least he does it all with a smile on his face.

While promoting her new book, former adult film star Jenna Jameson gave a truly bizarre interview to Good Morning New York. Slurring her words and having trouble forming complete sentences, it’s rumored that her initial two-part segment was cut short after just four minutes when producers realized that Jameson was in no state to continue. Later, she told TMZ that she was just exhausted, but that excuse doesn’t explain her odd interview.

David Bowie was a legend and an icon in the music industry, but that doesn’t mean he didn't have his fair share of awkward interviews. The most famous one came in 1974 when Bowie was interviewed on The Dick Cavett show. Constantly fidgeting, being generally anxious and slightly agitated, Bowie seems out of his element. It’s not necessarily his fault, though. Cocaine was a staple in the music industry during this time and Bowie’s addiction has been well-documented.
